Brett Brown makes it very clear what type of player Sixers will draft

The Philadelphia 76ers aren’t looking for projects anymore, we’re way beyond that and so is head coach Brett Brown.

At this point, coming off a 52-win season, the Sixers are legitimate NBA Championship contenders. If someone tells you otherwise, you can direct the conversation elsewhere.

It’s a big offseason for Brown and the Sixers, though, and after running a predraft workout Monday which featured six prospects, the coach spoke with the media. As Brian Seltzer of Sixers.com revealed, he gave a simple and direct breakdown of the type of player the team is targeting in the upcoming draft.

Someone who’s ready to play in June. Yes, the playoffs, but more specifically, the NBA Finals.

This statement alone honestly could point to a deal or two being made by the team when the draft rolls around as well.

After all, Philly currently holds six picks, four of which are second-rounders. If the Sixers are able to flip two of those second-rounders into a mid-to-late first-rounder, it’d be a majorly beneficial move.
